Be it known that. l, CHARLES B. Hnnnnnsox, residingl at Rainier, in the county olfI Specification of Letters Patent.

3, 1908. Serial No. :114,122.

Coluinhia andSlate of (.)regon7 have invented certain new and useful improvements in Flows7 of which the follotvingl ie a specitication.

My invention relates lo certain new and useful improvements in plows, and it more particularly seeks to provide a plow of the garden type in which means are provided ior propelling` lhe plow over the ground and al the saine finie producing a plow of a sinipleand elleetive eonslruet'ion which can be easilyv and cheaply manufactured and 'which Will readilyr and effectively serve its intended purposes.

In iny invention means are provided vi'or adjusting the plow share to tilitlierent, positions in order to penetrate to ay greater or luie distance into thev ground as condilgioml unav require7 and to 'provide detachable share# for the plow so thatV it. will he Susccgnihle olf numerous #pecitie uses.

ln its generit': nature the invention coniprises a wheeled freine ha vingl handle ineinoers connected thercwiih and an adjustable plow earrving' etandard zuliuatahly mounted in the fraine togietlufr with an explosive en-- lgine nrrie'd lin' the frame and `Q "eured with one of the wl'ieelri el the plowwherelnf llie plow nia'v he propelled.

Instead of connecting the motor 10. with the drive wheel through sprocket and chain connections, bevel gear and shaft connections I am also ,aware that motor-driven plows have been provided, but so far as I am aware no plow has been heretofore provided embodying the features of .construction set out in the appended claims. Y.

In the practical use of my invention, the plow is driven over the ground by the drive motor 10, either alone or in connection with horse power, and the plow beam 3 is adjusted to project the plow share the desired distance into the ground, after which the plow may be manipulated in the usual manner, as

will be fully understood by those skilled in the art. Owing to the fact that in my construction of plow, the drive w-lieel and front wheel are in the same alinement, and follow the'line of cut it is desired to make, the diameter of the rear wheel is greater than that of the front wheel as the rear or drive wheel rims in the cut that has been made,-

while the front wheel rims over the unbroken ground, see Fig. 3.

In order to use my invention as a ditching plow, a different form of plow share would be used in lieu of that shown in the drawings, as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art, an illustration of such use, it is thought will be unnecessary, as .I make no claim to the specific plow share or working implements that are to be secured to the standard 3.

In order to aid in holding the plow carrying standard in proper position and give strength thereto I may provide a U-shaped member 17 that embraces the standard 8 and that may be secured to the standard lb, as indicated.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying draw ings, it is thought the complete constructiOn, operation and numerous advantages of my invention will be readily understood |by those skilled in the art to which the ini' ention appertains.

That I claim is:

1.,In a plow,l the combination with the plow beams, a xed standard secured thereto and projecting upwardly therefrom, a longtudinally adjustable plow standard carried by said plow beams and held in contact with said fixed standard, handle members secured to said beams and connected with said X-ed standard, means for longitudinally adjusting said adjustable standard, a plow share carried by the adjustable standards, a pilot wheel mounted at the front of said beams,

and a drivel wheel at the rear thereof, and

-ineans supported by the plow beams and cooperatively conneoted with the drive wheel for driving the plow.

2. In a plow, a frame composed of a pair of beams spaced apart, a fixed standard secured between said Vbeams and projecting upwardly and rearwardly therefrom, a drive motor having a base secured between said beams and adjacent said fixed standard but spaced therefrom, a longitudinally adjustable standard mounted between said beams and said fixed standards, and said motor base, means for adjusting said adjustablestandard, a plow share secured to said ads justable standard, a pilot wheel and a drive wheel mounted in said frame and gear connections between said motor and said drive wheel.

3. In a plow, a frame composed of a pair of beams spaced apart, a fixed standard secured between said beams and projecting upwardly and rearwardly therefrom, a drive motor having a base secured between said beams, and adjacent said fixed standard but spaced therefrom, an adjustable standard mounted between said beams, fixed standard and said motor base,` means said for longitudinally adjusting said adjustable j a longitudinal slot and a pin passing through said beams and said longitudinal slot of the standard, and hand operated lever means for adjusting said adjustable standard.

5. In a plow, a frame composed of a pair of beams spaced apart, a fixed standard secured between said beams and projecting upwardly and rearwardly therefrom, a drive motor having a base secured between said beams, and adjacent to said fixed standard but spaced therefrom, a longitudinally adj ustable standard mounted between said beams and said xed standard and said ing said adjustable standard, said adjustable motoi` base, sald adjustable standard havmg stundargl lmvlug menus for recelvmg plowa longltudlnal slot md a. pm asslng through 111g vlmpl ments.
